Why was her hair red? Simple... Because she dyed it in the blood of her enemies. *** One mistake. That was all it took. Then Lyra was gone - fleeing back to the place she'd been dreaming of ever since they took her... ever since they changed her into what she'd become. Everything went according to her plan. At least it did until she ran into him. The one who changed everything. The man bound to her by the crimson string of fate. He found her one fateful snowy day, but can he keep her safe? Old enemies are moving, ghosts of Lyra's shattered past starting to rise as the clock continues to tick leading them towards a future that seems to have been set in stone... meaning the place she once thought of as a sanctuary might not be as safe as she thinks. (Book One in the Strings Series. Can be read as a standalone novel.)
